ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
An incredible amount of ex-Orioles wee in attendance including 4 of 5 retired numbers.  Jim Palmer, Earl Weaver, Brooks Robinson and Frank Robinson along with over 20 other former players.  The tournament between campers was excellent.  The pro game was fun but too short.  Over half of the campers were veterans returning for the experience.  I don't know which but I will definitely go back in the future.
Steve Freeman and his staff do an excellent job at making everyone feel welcome and a part of the camp.  An incredible amount of ex Orioles were in attendance including 4 of 5 retired numbers.  Jim Palmer, Earl Weaver, Brooks Robinson, and Frank Robinson along with over 20 other former players.  The tournament between campers was excellent.  The program was fun but too short.  Over half of the campers wee veterans returning for the experience.  I don't when but I will defiantly go back in the near future.
This was the 13th year of this camp.  The 42 Orioles made this a fantasy come true for me.  I will be attending the 1999 camp.
This was my 3rd time at the Orioles camp.  I will be going back again.
If you are interested in attending, please email Orioles@DennisMc.com with your snail mail address and phone number. Please specify which camp you are interested in. Further information and an application will be mailed to you. You may also use the Information Request Form.
